Antique collection Ladies Wool Jacket

Ladies antique wood jacket

Circa 1890's ladies' wool floral peplum style jacket
Handmade, no tags/size
This was a museum piece that was deaccessioned

Pale rose/pink background with purple violets/green leaf print in wool fabric
The flowers, buds and leaves have a very authentic look
Purple velvet collar and cuffs

"Leg-o-mutton" style sleeves--just below elbow sleeves are narrow
Front waist with white thread gathering--some stitches loose on left side
Could be restitched

Front around collar has pretty tiny gathering creating a pleated look down front
Back is shaped by a series of pleats which flare out beautifully across back lower half creating a peplum look

Inside/lining is a light brown cloth that looks like a vest in front--closure with metal hook collection and eyes on vest edges
Lining inside covers from waist up including inside of sleeves, eleven "bones" inside for shaping
Inside seams are beautifully "Pinked"

Measurements-
Waist 22 inches--this measurement based upon size of lining/vest inside
With lining not hooked and jacket on mannikin chest measurement of 33 inches, waist 25 1/2 inches

As with many clothing items of this age, wear/stains/damage is inevitable
-Collar where it folds is dark and shows wear (photo 7)
-There are tiny holes in fabric that are only noticeable if you hold it up to the light, the largest in photo 10
These are the flaws I have observed--there may be more upon closer exam
Overall, good condition for its age
